基礎(chǔ)四國氣候變化部長級聯(lián)合聲明

中國武漢，2024年7月21日

1.2024年基礎(chǔ)四國氣候變化部長級會議于2024年7月21日在中國湖北省武漢市舉行。會議由中國生態(tài)環(huán)境部部長黃潤秋先生擔任主席，南非森林、漁業(yè)和環(huán)境部部長迪翁·喬治博士，巴西氣候變化副部長安娜·托尼博士代表巴西環(huán)境和氣候變化部部長瑪麗娜·席爾瓦女士，印度環(huán)境、森林和氣候變化部聯(lián)合秘書尼萊什·庫馬爾·薩先生代表印度環(huán)境、森林和氣候變化部部長布潘德爾·亞達夫先生出席，中國生態(tài)環(huán)境部副部長趙英民先生主持會議。

2.部長們強調(diào)，氣候變化是我們所處時代最大挑戰(zhàn)之一。盡管面臨多重危機，包括地緣政治緊張局勢、全球能源和糧食危機、通貨膨脹、饑餓和不平等加劇，以及全球供應(yīng)鏈擾動，部長們確認致力于多邊主義和國際合作，在消除貧困和可持續(xù)發(fā)展背景下實現(xiàn)低碳和氣候韌性發(fā)展。

3.部長們強調(diào)全面、充分、有效地實施《聯(lián)合國氣候變化框架公約》（以下簡稱《公約》）及其《京都議定書》和《巴黎協(xié)定》的重要性。他們重申《巴黎協(xié)定》目標，即把全球平均氣溫升幅控制在工業(yè)化前水平以上低于2℃之內(nèi)，并努力將氣溫升幅限制在工業(yè)化前水平以上1.5℃之內(nèi)，并重申《巴黎協(xié)定》實施將依據(jù)公平、共同但有區(qū)別的責任和各自能力原則，考慮不同國情。

4.在此背景下，部長們歡迎“阿聯(lián)酋共識”，包括《公約》第28次締約方大會（COP28）通過的《巴黎協(xié)定》首次全球盤點的成功成果。這一成果體現(xiàn)了締約方?jīng)Q心保持團結(jié)努力實現(xiàn)協(xié)定宗旨和長期目標，并強調(diào)需要緊急行動和支持以使巴黎溫度目標可及并在這個關(guān)鍵十年應(yīng)對氣候危機。他們表示支持“三駕馬車”伙伴關(guān)系，并堅定不移地致力于通過公開、透明、包容、締約方驅(qū)動和協(xié)商一致的進程，在COP29和COP30上取得成功成果。

5.部長們承諾全力支持候任主席國阿塞拜疆，并期待與所有其他締約方共同努力，使巴庫大會取得成功。他們強調(diào)，COP29的主要成果是設(shè)定由發(fā)達國家流向發(fā)展中國家的氣候資金新集體量化目標（NCQG），該目標將是發(fā)展中國家在2025年通報有雄心的國家自主貢獻（NDC）和這十年強化氣候?qū)嵤┑年P(guān)鍵推動力。部長們主張新目標必須推動解決氣候資金定義的未決問題，必須符合《公約》及其《巴黎協(xié)定》中氣候資金的定義，即發(fā)達國家有義務(wù)向發(fā)展中國家提供新的、額外的氣候資金支持，同時提供詳細的透明度安排，以促進責任感、信任，并便于跟蹤實現(xiàn)目標數(shù)額的集體進展。部長們對發(fā)達國家試圖通過建議擴大出資者范圍淡化自身在國際法下的氣候資金法律義務(wù)表示嚴重關(guān)切，這將使談判努力偏離氣候行動和力度核心問題?；诎l(fā)達國家落實公共資金贈款支持，部長們期待NCQG金額應(yīng)當從每年以十億美元為單位的量級增至數(shù)萬億級美元。

6.部長們期待成功的COP29建立在COP28基礎(chǔ)上，并為COP30達成雄心成果鋪平道路。他們歡迎并贊賞巴西在2025年舉辦COP30并擔任主席發(fā)揮的領(lǐng)導力。

7.為突破氣候行動慣性，部長們重申通過在COP28到COP30及此后進一步落實基礎(chǔ)四國合作新愿景，以強化基礎(chǔ)四國領(lǐng)導力的共識，包括：第一，加強基礎(chǔ)四國就國際氣候變化議程協(xié)調(diào)，重點關(guān)注《公約》下多邊氣候體制；第二，調(diào)動各國科學和學術(shù)對話；第三，擴大在可持續(xù)發(fā)展實施和項目方面的聯(lián)合行動與合作，尤其是通過擴大新開發(fā)銀行（NDB）作用支持全球南方可持續(xù)發(fā)展。

8.部長們歡迎巴西在2025年擔任“金磚+”主席國。作為“金磚+”成員，他們強調(diào)新開發(fā)銀行在擴大和加快發(fā)展中國家氣候行動方面的重要貢獻。他們贊揚新開發(fā)銀行在巴西南里奧格蘭德州最近發(fā)生前所未有的特大洪災(zāi)后，向該州提供了超過十億美元的堅定支持。他們認同這表明新開發(fā)銀行在加速多邊開發(fā)銀行（MDBs）改革中的獨特地位，為發(fā)展中國家提供更大、更好和更強勁支持。部長們強調(diào)，新開發(fā)銀行可以在國際金融架構(gòu)根本性改革中發(fā)揮重要作用，這一根本性改革將賦能可持續(xù)發(fā)展和各國不同公正轉(zhuǎn)型路徑，并適配于落實雄心勃勃且公平的氣候行動。

9.部長們重申將以國家自主決定的方式，按照《巴黎協(xié)定》原則和條款，提交其下一輪NDC的承諾。他們鼓勵各國積極響應(yīng)“阿聯(lián)酋共識”成果。他們強調(diào)NDC應(yīng)成為實現(xiàn)可持續(xù)發(fā)展目標的工具，并促進減輕國內(nèi)和國家間不平等。部長們強調(diào)，政府間氣候變化專門委員會（IPCC）第六次評估報告提出，歷史排放量和世界碳空間利用并不公平，較其在全球人口中占比份額，發(fā)達國家歷史排放量更多。他們認同公平的減排行動必須以歷史責任、氣候正義、公正轉(zhuǎn)型，以及保護、維護和恢復生態(tài)系統(tǒng)需求為指導。

10.部長們對發(fā)達國家締約方2020年前減緩力度和落實差距表示嚴重關(guān)切。他們憶及IPCC指出到2020年發(fā)達國家應(yīng)當在1990年基礎(chǔ)上減排25%—40%，但并未實現(xiàn)。部長們對發(fā)達國家2030年和2050年減緩力度不足，及其氣候政策與行動倒退和自相矛盾表示嚴重關(guān)切。部長們敦促發(fā)達國家迅速彌補2020年前減排差距，重審并強化2030年NDC目標，并且顯著早于2050年，最好到2030年實現(xiàn)溫室氣體凈零排放，隨后立即實現(xiàn)溫室氣體凈負排放。

11.部長們敦促發(fā)達國家恪守關(guān)于減排和氣候資金的法定承諾。他們注意到發(fā)達國家氣候資金核算存在不一致，這嚴重損害信任和法律確定性。部長們對迄今發(fā)達國家提供的支持不充分、不足額表示關(guān)切，并敦促發(fā)達國家按照多邊協(xié)商一致的氣候資金定義補齊1000億美元氣候資金承諾缺口。

12.考慮到氣候危機緊迫性，部長們呼吁發(fā)達國家承認其未能兌現(xiàn)承諾，并敦促他們加強努力落實其及時充分為發(fā)展中國家提供和動員新的額外氣候資金的承諾，并且率先減排。部長們注意到，發(fā)達國家造成的領(lǐng)導力空缺凸顯了強化多邊主義、落實《公約》及其《巴黎協(xié)定》下義務(wù)的緊迫性。在政治不確定性和分裂持續(xù)加劇背景下，部長們承諾擔當全球南方應(yīng)對氣候危機、追求可持續(xù)發(fā)展目標的穩(wěn)定力量。

13.部長們呼吁全球團結(jié)，確保沒有任何一個國家、地方或者個體掉隊。他們強調(diào)基礎(chǔ)四國愿意并準備真誠貢獻最大努力，與所有國家合作應(yīng)對氣候變化。他們進一步強調(diào)基礎(chǔ)四國堅定與全球南方團結(jié)在一起。他們重申基礎(chǔ)四國作為發(fā)展中國家對“77國集團和中國”團結(jié)的承諾，并強調(diào)發(fā)展中國家間合作至關(guān)重要。他們重申明確支持現(xiàn)任主席國烏干達，以鞏固“77國集團和中國”團結(jié)，促進發(fā)展中國家共同利益。

14.部長們歡迎“阿聯(lián)酋共識”關(guān)于公正轉(zhuǎn)型路徑內(nèi)容，這為全經(jīng)濟和全社會公正轉(zhuǎn)型實現(xiàn)可持續(xù)發(fā)展描繪了愿景，不讓任何國家和任何個體掉隊。要實現(xiàn)這種包容性和整體性方式，需要從國際、國內(nèi)兩個維度確保氣候正義，重點是在可持續(xù)發(fā)展并解決貧困、饑餓、國內(nèi)和國家間不平等框架下，為發(fā)展中國家提供實施手段。

15.部長們強調(diào)應(yīng)以公正、有序、公平的方式推進能源轉(zhuǎn)型，由各國自主決定，并考慮到不同發(fā)展階段、國情、路徑和方法，包括資源稟賦以及發(fā)展中國家的需求和挑戰(zhàn)。他們注意到第一次全球盤點成果中呼吁全球努力到2030年將全球可再生能源容量增長至三倍、全球能效提升年平均速率提高一倍。在此背景下，他們歡迎超過三分之二的風能和太陽能項目是在發(fā)展中國家建設(shè)的，基礎(chǔ)四國在實施并促進全球氣候友好技術(shù)成本下降方面展現(xiàn)了領(lǐng)導力。他們對一些發(fā)達國家的保護主義措施嚴重阻礙全球綠色轉(zhuǎn)型表達關(guān)切。他們強調(diào)發(fā)達國家采取雙重標準，在其出口可再生能源時稱贊自身經(jīng)濟競爭力，但同時批評基礎(chǔ)四國成就。部長們還關(guān)切地注意到，近年來發(fā)達國家化石燃料生產(chǎn)和消費出現(xiàn)顯著增長，呼吁發(fā)達國家明確展現(xiàn)其能源系統(tǒng)正在率先轉(zhuǎn)型脫離化石燃料。

16.部長們強調(diào)，發(fā)展中國家受氣候變化不利影響最為嚴重，適應(yīng)是當務(wù)之急，但被忽視且與減緩資源分配不均衡。他們敦促到2024年發(fā)達國家集體向發(fā)展中國家締約方提供的氣候適應(yīng)資金比2019年水平增加數(shù)倍，并制定透明度路線圖，以減緩與適應(yīng)50：50比例分配NCQG，并從2026年1月開始實施。部長們歡迎“全球氣候韌性框架”，包括就11個目標達成一致，為實現(xiàn)全球適應(yīng)目標（GGA）提供更細顆粒度目標。為實現(xiàn)這些目標而實施的所有行動，都應(yīng)基于發(fā)達國家根據(jù)《公約》及其《巴黎協(xié)定》原則和條款向發(fā)展中國家提供的支持，特別是共同但有區(qū)別的責任和各自能力原則，并以公共資金為核心，包括監(jiān)測和評估發(fā)達國家根據(jù)發(fā)展中國家適應(yīng)優(yōu)先事項向其提供實施手段支持的充分性和有效性。

17.部長們譴責一切形式的單邊主義和保護主義；重申為應(yīng)對氣候變化采取的措施，包括單邊措施，不應(yīng)成為對國際貿(mào)易任意或無理的歧視手段或者隱蔽限制；敦促國際社會團結(jié)合作應(yīng)對氣候變化；并重申加強和深化基礎(chǔ)四國在氣候行動與合作方面領(lǐng)導力及共同努力。部長們反對一些發(fā)達國家以氣候行動為借口推行歧視性、不公正的“碳邊境調(diào)節(jié)機制”，并決心共同努力確保發(fā)展中國家不受這些破壞多邊主義、威脅可持續(xù)發(fā)展單邊措施的不利影響。部長們呼吁發(fā)達國家終止扭曲貿(mào)易的補貼，包括針對農(nóng)業(yè)、森林和能源行業(yè)補貼，這些補貼對發(fā)展中國家可持續(xù)發(fā)展造成不利影響。

18.部長們指出，發(fā)展中國家提供了絕大多數(shù)關(guān)鍵礦產(chǎn)和稀土，這些資源對于現(xiàn)代經(jīng)濟各方面都至關(guān)重要，包括向可再生能源轉(zhuǎn)型，并強調(diào)通過源頭選礦和創(chuàng)造當?shù)貎r值鏈，使這些自然資源造福當?shù)厝嗣竦闹匾?。部長們承諾共同努力確?？沙掷m(xù)、負責任和公正的關(guān)鍵礦產(chǎn)價值鏈。

19.部長們強調(diào)，在全球經(jīng)濟下行和復蘇之際，基礎(chǔ)四國盡管面臨巨大發(fā)展挑戰(zhàn)和脫貧壓力，仍將繼續(xù)以身作則發(fā)揮領(lǐng)導力，并在務(wù)必實現(xiàn)可持續(xù)發(fā)展的大背景下，正在展示氣候行動的最高雄心:

巴西將氣候變化重新定位為最優(yōu)先事項，同時努力消除饑餓、貧困和不平等。巴西堅定致力于加強多邊主義和全球氣候治理。2024年從基礎(chǔ)四國伙伴印度的手中接棒擔任二十國集團（G20）主席國，以“建設(shè)一個公正的世界和可持續(xù)星球”為主題，建立了G20年度工作框架，將氣候變化解決方案納入前期鋪墊活動和金融軌道。明年巴西將把G20主席轉(zhuǎn)交給基礎(chǔ)四國的另一個伙伴南非。除了環(huán)境和氣候可持續(xù)工作組外，巴西還提議成立“全球動員應(yīng)對氣候變化工作組”，以重新調(diào)整氣候行動和資金，尋求結(jié)構(gòu)性解決方案。該工作組首次將外交部、財政部、氣候部以及中央銀行聚集在一起。作為COP30候任主席，巴西一直在與COP28和COP29主席合作推進“1.5使命路線圖”。2023年11月，巴西調(diào)整了其2030年NDC，將其減排目標提高到比2005年減排53%。自盧拉總統(tǒng)上任以來，巴西一直致力于“零森林砍伐”，同時重新啟動了亞馬遜基金及《預(yù)防和控制法定亞馬遜和塞拉多地區(qū)森林砍伐行動計劃》。2023年1月至12月，巴西實現(xiàn)了亞馬遜森林砍伐減少50%，2024年1月至5月進一步減少了40.5%，僅這一項就避免約2.5億噸碳排放。最近的數(shù)據(jù)還顯示，2024年上半年塞拉多地區(qū)的森林砍伐也減少了15%。巴西正在更新《恢復原生植被國家計劃》，以期到2030年恢復至少1200萬公頃的原生植被。在COP28上，巴西國家開發(fā)銀行發(fā)起了“恢復之穹頂”倡議，為到2050年恢復2400萬公頃亞馬遜森林提供資金。2023年8月，巴西政府還宣布了一項全經(jīng)濟范圍的“生態(tài)轉(zhuǎn)型計劃”，該計劃將強化巴西對未來經(jīng)濟增長、社會包容和環(huán)境保護的愿景。在巴西氣候基金下，已發(fā)行了20億美元的綠色債券支持氣候行動，而2024年4月啟動的“巴西生態(tài)投資”倡議旨在創(chuàng)造結(jié)構(gòu)性條件，吸引外國私人投資實施生態(tài)轉(zhuǎn)型。在能源領(lǐng)域，可再生能源目前約占巴西能源供應(yīng)總量的50%和電力供應(yīng)的90%。2022—2023年，巴西發(fā)電裝機容量增長9.4%，其中天然氣發(fā)電減少7.9%，燃油發(fā)電減少19.3%，火力發(fā)電呈明顯下降趨勢，同時太陽能發(fā)電增長68.1%，風電增長17.4%，這使得發(fā)電產(chǎn)生的溫室氣體排放在一年內(nèi)減少了6%。

中國堅定實施積極應(yīng)對氣候變化國家戰(zhàn)略，致力于構(gòu)建人類命運共同體，力爭于2030年前達到峰值，努力爭取2060年前實現(xiàn)碳中和。2012年以來，中國以年均3%的能源消費增速，支撐了超過6%的經(jīng)濟增長。單位國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值二氧化碳排放下降超35%，相當于少排放14億噸二氧化碳。截至2023年底，中國可再生能源裝機已歷史性超過煤電，國內(nèi)可再生能源裝機規(guī)模占全球約40%，占全球新增裝機50%以上。中國的水電、風電、太陽能發(fā)電、生物質(zhì)發(fā)電和在建核電裝機均居世界第一。中國制造帶動全球風電和光伏發(fā)電平均成本在過去十年間分別累計下降超過60%和80%。中國的新能源汽車保有量占全球一半以上。2023年中國的煤炭消費比重較2012年下降了13.2個百分點，并于近期啟動煤電低碳化改造。此外，中方還建立了全球覆蓋溫室氣體排放量最大的碳市場，制定了《甲烷排放控制行動方案》《國家適應(yīng)氣候變化戰(zhàn)略2035》，其森林覆蓋率和蓄積量連續(xù)30年保持雙增長，成為全球森林資源增長最多最快的國家。同時，中國盡己所能開展應(yīng)對氣候變化南南合作，包括為120多個發(fā)展中國家培訓2400余名氣候變化官員和技術(shù)人員。

印度堅信多邊主義，并積極幫助其他脆弱國家。印度啟動了“韌性島國基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施”計劃，旨在促進小島嶼發(fā)展中國家基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施資產(chǎn)的災(zāi)害和氣候復原力。印度還在2019年發(fā)起了“抗災(zāi)基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施聯(lián)盟”，以強化新建和現(xiàn)有基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施系統(tǒng)對氣候和災(zāi)害風險的抵御能力。印度于2015年發(fā)起了“國際太陽能聯(lián)盟”，成為通過全球伙伴關(guān)系實施建設(shè)性全球氣候行動的典范?！熬G色電網(wǎng)倡議——同一太陽，同一世界，同一電網(wǎng)”也是印度于2021年發(fā)起的，是全球第一個互聯(lián)太陽能電網(wǎng)的國際網(wǎng)絡(luò)。“全球綠色信貸倡議”由印度于2023年12月發(fā)起，旨在通過綠色信貸等各種倡議促進全球合作與協(xié)作，實施和監(jiān)測促進環(huán)境向好的行動。印度還與瑞典合作發(fā)起了“行業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)型領(lǐng)導小組”倡議，為難以實現(xiàn)溫室氣體減排的行業(yè)尋找創(chuàng)新解決方案，以促進自愿的低碳轉(zhuǎn)型行動。2024—2026年“行業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)型領(lǐng)導小組”第二階段于2023年12月啟動。印度還發(fā)起了全球“環(huán)境友好生活方式”運動，以促進注重環(huán)境意識的生活方式，重點是提高資源利用意識。2024年3月在肯尼亞內(nèi)羅畢舉行的第六屆聯(lián)合國環(huán)境大會通過了印度提出的關(guān)于“促進可持續(xù)生活方式”的決議。印度在2024年6月5日世界環(huán)境日之際發(fā)起了“以母親的名義種一棵樹”運動。印度總理納倫德拉·莫迪呼吁全國人民以及全世界人民種植一棵樹，向他們的母親致敬。

南非已制定了具有廣泛影響的政策，以確保落實NDC目標。確保以公平和基于科學的方式應(yīng)對氣候危機對于實現(xiàn)公正轉(zhuǎn)型至關(guān)重要，為此，南非正在資助一系列廣泛的研究、開發(fā)和創(chuàng)新計劃和措施，包括：全球變化研究計劃及其相關(guān)項目和措施；海洋和南極戰(zhàn)略；南非風險和脆弱性地圖集；水資源和廢棄物的研究、開發(fā)和創(chuàng)新路線圖；生物經(jīng)濟戰(zhàn)略；土著知識系統(tǒng)；太空子計劃下的地球觀測工作；氣候變化導致的多重災(zāi)害預(yù)警系統(tǒng)；氫和燃料電池技術(shù)開發(fā)（氫能社會路線圖）；基于風能和太陽能地圖集詳細繪制的可再生能源資源圖；先進電池（儲能）倡議；多個關(guān)于實現(xiàn)循環(huán)經(jīng)濟的計劃；以及水資源方面的重點研究。南非還制定了44個地區(qū)的氣候變化適應(yīng)戰(zhàn)略，以推進地方層面的適應(yīng)計劃，并對旅游業(yè)、生物多樣性、海洋和海岸、采礦業(yè)、居住區(qū)等關(guān)鍵部門進行風險和脆弱性評估。此外，南非議會通過了《氣候變化法》，其中包括為大型排放公司分配碳預(yù)算。南非在2019年通過并持續(xù)實施《碳稅法》，財政部正在考慮在下一個五年期提高稅率。在“綜合資源計劃”的指導下，南非通過五期招標新增了6.2吉瓦的可再生能源裝機，重點實施以電動汽車、電力和綠氫為要素的“公正能源轉(zhuǎn)型伙伴關(guān)系”。

20.部長們歡迎印度提議由其在印度主辦2028年《公約》第33次締約方大會和2025年基礎(chǔ)四國部長級會議。
